The CMA change is the problem IMO and it's now removed from -mm and
-next trees.

This might be too late for ARM because in paging_init() it calls
dma_contiguous_remap() which presumes that the CMA area is already
reserved.

dma_contiguous_remap() might be NOP, so your fix will boot until it
fails eventually :)
